3 Page 3 of 9 Special risks. Fire can cause thick, black smoke. As a result of thermal decomposition, dangerous products can form: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Exposure to combustion or decomposition products can be harmful to your health. 5.3 Advice for firefighters. Use water to cool tanks, cisterns, or containers close to the heat source or fire. Take wind direction into account. Prevent the products used to fight the fire from going into drains, sewers, or waterways. Fire protection equipment. According to the size of the fire, it may be necessary to use protective suits against the heat, individual breathing equipment, gloves, protective goggles or facemasks, and gloves. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES. 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures. Eliminate possible ignition points and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing fumes.for exposure control and individual protection measures, see section Environmental precautions. Prevent the contamination of drains, surface or subterranean waters, and the ground. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up. The contaminated area should be immediately cleaned with an appropriate de-contaminator. Pour the decontaminator on the remains in an opened container and let it act various days until no further reaction is produced. 6.4 Reference to other sections. For exposure control and individual protection measures, see section 8. For later elimination of waste, follow the recommendations under section 13. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE. 7.1 Precautions for safe handling. The fumes are heavier than air and can spread across the ground. They can form explosive mixtures with air.
